Does anyone actually give a poo poo about the Logies who isn't nominated for one? I feel like moving them to Queensland is a pretty big sign that nobody actually cares anymore (assuming they ever did).

I think people cared in the 70s and 80s before real choice was introduced. I also think Joey from Friends did us a big favour by demonstrating how bad the Logies are.

We should just have a points system where entering the red zone bans you from public places until you fix it. You also have to wear a hat with a light on it that uses the green, amber, red system.

Also if you go into red zone an alarm sounds perpetually until you rectify it.

I got whatever the student thing was when I was in uni and have mercifully never had to interact with centrelink again. I've got two friends that are centrelink reliant rn (one has a permanent injury and one just has the shittiest luck of anyone I've ever met) and what they go through as far as time and stress seems way more onerous than having a crappy job.

The parliament needs a total top to bottom overhaul when it comes to operations. So much of the system is predicated on gentlemanly politeness that simply doesn't exist and it needs to set the benchmark for people's workplace behaviour nationally in the same way the government agencies purport to be benchmark employers when it comes to their conditions.

Thirdly - social stratification. If you are well-off, you probably only hang out with other well-off people, unless you deign to step out of your privilege bubble. It's hard to empathise with the nameless and faceless, and easier to "other" them or deny they exist.


I kind of disagree with this. Plenty of poorer people in warehouses have bounced on and off Centrelink and hate it's clients more than the effete middle class.

Loving Fairfax running a string of articles by people crying poor about child care on a combined income above $350k

What the gently caress


HAHAHA HOLY loving poo poo

"Under the new scheme, the rebate is means-tested against the family income and once this reaches $351,248, you are no longer eligible, regardless of how much the primary carer earns. Because my partner is the main breadwinner in our family, we no longer qualify for any childcare subsidy. With the cost of quality childcare in the area we live, for both my children, I will now be paying $45 a day above my daily earnings (after tax) to go back to work and treat hospital patients."
